I wished to go completely outside and to make a symbolic start for my enterprise of regenerating the life of humankind within the body of society and to prepare a positive future in this context.
I think the tree is an element of regeneration which in itself is a concept of time.
This transcendent character of information, in an invisible world, gives us at the same time the proof.. that we are not only biological beings, material beings, but first spiritual beings, not existing on this planet.. that we are only partly existing on this planet.. and being involved in wood, in felt, in fat, in iron, in rubber or whatever resources of this planet.
Every human being is an artist. I don't only call artists those people who are painters or play the piano; or who are composers or writers. To me, a nurse is also an artist.. So is a doctor, a teacher, and a student or any young person responsible for his/her own development. The essential definition of a human being is that of an 'artist.' All other definitions of the word 'art' lead back to the idea that there are 'artists' and 'non-artists,' of people who can do something and people who can't.
Joseph Beuys
